PDP Petitions Chief Judge Over Tribunal Judgments.

The Plateau State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has petitioned the Chief Justice of Nigeria and Chairman of the National Judicial Council, Justice Kayode Ariwola, over the judgments delivered by the Justice Mohammed Tukur-led National Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Jos.

VOP News gathered that the party accused the three justices of the panel of deliberate perversion of justice and conspiracy to remove its elected candidates from the legislative houses.

The PDP, in a statement signed by its State Chairman, Mr. Chris Hassan, and Secretary, John Alan, alleged bias on the part of the Tukur-led tribunal.

The PDP expressed dismay that while the second tribunal had dismissed the plea of the petitioners, Justice Tukur and his brother judges had found merit in the petitions.

The PDP urged the CJN to investigate the allegations against the Tukur-led tribunal and take appropriate disciplinary action against the erring judges.

The party also called on the CJN to reconstitute the tribunal with new judges who are impartial and have the integrity to dispense justice without fear or favour
